Summer is my personal excuse to try even the most surprising ice cream flavors, and this Helados La Neta avocado lime ice cream has my taste buds ready for a treat. Helados La Neta — which takes its name from the Spanish phrase "la neta," meaning "the truth" — is ice cream inspired by Mexican culture, and that aims to bring people together with nostalgic flavors. "La Neta is a unique journey of flavor honoring Mexican roots and traditions, a celebration of the differences that enrich us as a nation, and a recognition to the strong force we all are united as just one vibrant multicultural community," the brand said in a press release.
Other flavors in the line include Mexican vanilla, classic horchata, strawberries and cream, chocolate and cinnamon, coconut cream, and rum raisin. The ice cream is currently available for $7 per pint online or $4 to $6 per pint at Walmart, H-E-B, Kroger, Safeway, Shoprite, The Fresh Market, and other specialty grocery stores nationwide.
